Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BR 27406-002 contact?
A: The BR 27406-002 is an electrical contact component used in control switches and relays on electric lift trucks. This part completes and breaks electrical circuits for lift and movement functions. It is compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster electric pallet jacks.
Q: How does the BR 27406-002 contact work?
A: The BR 27406-002 is a movable contact point that connects to or disconnects from a fixed contact. When the switch is activated, the BR 27406-002 touches the fixed contact, completing the electrical circuit. This allows power to flow to the truck motor or control circuit.
Q: What material is the BR 27406-002 contact made from?
A: The BR 27406-002 is manufactured from a silver alloy or copper alloy that resists arcing and corrosion. This material maintains low electrical resistance and prevents contact pitting, which would degrade electrical performance.
Q: When should the BR 27406-002 contact be replaced?
A: Replace the BR 27406-002 if a truck function turns on and off without operator action, if the switch requires multiple attempts to activate, or if the contact appears pitted or discolored. A worn contact creates resistance that can cause voltage drop and sluggish response.
Q: How long does the BR 27406-002 contact last?
A: The BR 27406-002 typically lasts 2 to 5 years depending on electrical load and switching frequency. High current demands or frequent switching in cold storage accelerate wear. Inspect regularly for pitting or discoloration.
